In June of 2008, while leading a WWF Malaysian Borneo Tour, Biologist Ron Leidich followed a commotion in the forest and stumbled across a bachelor herd of Bornean Pygmy Elephants. Standing over 8 feet tall the pygmy elephant is still a formidable beast. Ron and a trusting group of adventurers stalked within 25 feet of this reclusive forest pachyderm. Annoyed at the intrusion the young bull began flapping his ears which was a recognizable sign that it was time to go. Following the jungle track back to a waiting canoe, Ron and the WWF devotees slipped back onto the Kinabatangan River for more adventures.
